I disagree. The mole pod is not worth $19.99. This is how I would price this stuff:

Figures - $7.99
Alpha - $14.99
Bravo - $22.99 (good call Walmart)
Night Raven - $29.99
Mobile Pit - $79.99

That's what I think these things are worth, and then you can throw on the odd sale here or there to drop the prices.


Those prices are almost EXACTLY how the RoC stuff is priced in US dollars.

I would do:

Figs: $5.99-6.99
Alpha: $9.99-10.99
Bravo: $15.99-19.99
Echo: $29.99
PIT: $69.99 (which is what it was going for in online sales with free shipping)

Basically I think Hasbro is at least a dollar too high on figs and $5 too high on the vehicles.  It shows, too: I bought just about every 25th figure, with the exception of the last wave because I never really saw it, I had way too many Ninjas already (Ninja Viper) and I didn't like the Dreadnok repaints enough to pick them up.  And whereas in the past I would have eagerly snapped up everything, I have passed on a few vehicles and plenty of figures, with fewer and fewer of the figures coming out being absolute buys for me.  If they were priced lower, I'd be much more inclined to just buy everything.

Yet the Canadian dollar and US dollar are almost par again yet we get the huge mark up price once again.

Which means that both Canada and the US wish their prices were just a bit lower. Maybe it isn't that Hasbro is too high as much as we just wish things were cheaper.

I'd rather see a Pursuit Of Cobra-style Dusty, myself.
Heck, his name was on that slideshow introducing POC for the desert part. They have the name registered. Recondo's being made for the jungle one and Beachhead is being made for the urban one. Hasbro has no excuse not to make a new, POCtastic Dusty.
